The United States has committed to defending the Philippines, including in the South China Sea. The word used – ‘ironclad’. It's what President Joe Biden said to Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Junior, during the first White House visit by a Philippines leader in 10 years. The commitment comes at a time that Manila is facing increased Chinese assertiveness in the South China Sea. Beijing unilaterally claims almost the entire expanse of water as its own.
